NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The New York
Stars special Washington correspondent
wires that paper the following, which it
VIII publish tomorrow: There is no longer
any doubt here that Carlisle is to be secre-
taFy OF the treasury. 1t is also thought to
De settled that Pendleton is going into the
cablnet and Garland is going out of it.
Ihere does not seem to be so much GER
lanty as to Col. Lamont, but it is the bet
ter opinion and my full belief that he will
be.poStmaSter general. He has wonderful
executive abilities and great skill in dealing
With men. The SpeakeTShip is becoming the
pressing question. Mr.. Randall's candidacy
VIII be stoutly resisted by the revenue
reformeTS. If Mr.. Carlisle is not in the
next house the absence of Mr.. Morrison
VIII be great loss to the refOrmers. His
faculty for organization and his undaunted
courage cannot easily be replaced. l said
yesterday that Mr.. Hatch of Missouri. and
MIR. Miller, of Texas, were talked about as
CANDIDATES FOR THE sPEAKERsHIP.
d. II. Hatch has represented the First
district of Missouri for four terms and has
been reelected to the next house. He is
large and handsome man with strong
lace, genial manner. and he
IS good presiding officer. He
Is at present chairman of the COM
mittee on agriculture and has been
successful in carrying through several i'm
portant bills. His Democracy is not of the
soundest. He is all wrong about silver and
votes for large appropriations. But he IS
man OF strong sense and in a broader
held will be likely to take a firmer hold
upon Democratic principles. Mr.. Hatch
thA cfoif fI.,
and is 81 years Old. Robert A Miller has
represented the Ninth district of Texas i'll
seven congresses. and has been reelected
TO the next house. The Texas delegation
Is the abIest one in congress. 1t is unan-
mouSly Democratic and its Democracy is
sound. The only weak point is
the silver delusiOn. But Texas has the
disease in mild form. and it has not
shaken the Judgment of the Strong-headed
men from that state. Take it all in all,
Mills may be called the leader of this able
and influential delegation He is
A RESTLESS, INCIsIvE MAN,
with a mind that works like flash of light
ming, and a courage that nothing daunts
He is a Democrat through and through
His knowledge of the business of the gov
enment and Of sound methods of taxation
and administration is unsurpassed. He
would not make q practical speaker,
as Mr.. Carlisle does but he
would infuse his own fiery spirit
into the majority, and give to it cohesion
and efficiency which it has sadly lacked
under the somewhat timid rule OF Nh
Carlisle. Mr.. Mills was fighting soldier
IN the Confederate army, and rose to the
rank of colonel Both Mr.. Hatch and Mr..
Mills being eX-Confederates, the question
will arise whether that will make man
ilnNl
belief is that the party can now safely rest
upon the assumption that the war is at an
end, and the country Is at peace.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-In the house.
when the senate amendment appropriating
S22. 600 for the erection of fences around
the cemeteries in which Confederate dead
are buried near Columbus and JohnSons
Island, o., was reached, Mr.. Burrows, of
Michigan, raised a point of order against
the further amendment attached by the ap-
proprations committee directing the secre-
tary of war to report to congress the num-
Der of Union and Confederate dead who
are not buried in NATIONAL state,
probable cost of fencing and
marking their graves The point was sus-
tanned and the committee amendment to the
senate amendment was stricken out. Mr..
ButterWorth, Ohio, moved to concur in the
senate amendment with an amendment
directing the secretary Of war to make an
inquiry as to the number of Union soldiers
buried in the same cemeteries with Con-
federates, and whether their resting places
are unfenced and unmarked. This amend
ment was also ruled out on point of order.
Mr.. Randall, Pennsylvania, regretted that
the points of order had been made. If
there were anywhere places containing the
dead bodies of soldiers who died, at least
bravely, which were not properly protected,
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY
it would not be amiss for the government
to provide fences to surround them. He
wanted to direct attention to the fact that
the children of the Confederate dead were
to-day as devoted to the flag as anyone; and
lie did not think that the interests of this
great government and the harmony and
peace of its people would be interfered
with i'll the least degree by the
construction of fences to protect from
deSecratiOn the graves of the dead
Mr.. Burrows stated that there was not the
slightest opposition to the original senate
the amendment suggested by the apprcpri-
alton committee. The gentleman from
Pennsylvania (AIr. Randall, as the leader
of the other side. had said that the object
of that amendment was TO search out the
graves of every man who had fought
against the country, and at public expense
to maintain guard over his remains and
mark the same.
Mr. Randall voted for that il committee
and am willing TO vote for it in the house.
Mr. ows-I understand, and it is this
thing object to. 1t will be time to think of
paying out the peoples money to guard the
dead who fought against the flag, when some
action is taken to erect monuments for those
who
FOUGHT FOR THE FLAG.
We have asked for money to build monu-
ment 10 Gen. Grant. Not a dollar can be ap-
propriated by this congress. We have asked
for a statue 10 Edwin NJ. Stanton-that rock
upon which Abraham Lincoln leaned when
the republic trembled, but not dollar. We
have asked pensions for soldiers sitting under
the awful shadow of the poorhouse. 1t is
vetoed And my friend from Pennsylvania
announces that it is his desire
that this government shall mark the resting
MACE of every man who fell in the effort to
destroy it. / think I understand this busi-
ness. I think that 1 see clearly through it.
7 COW it not in malice, but we may as well
come to an understanding about this Ques-
tion first as last and draw the line here, and
ON that line we must stand-that the men
who fought to maintain this government and
defend constitutional liberty were in the
right and the men who fought on the other
side were in the wroEg-
Mr.. Randal-The gentleman says there
eho Md be line drawn. The difference be-
tween the gentleman and myself is that /
want to rub out the line which marks the diff
terence between the two ends of the country.
~, p1rrOwS-T never rub out this
